Bat Lash #6

The final chapter of "Guns and Roses" arrives with a haunting image that says everything without showing a face: Bat Lash's signature black hat — flower and all — draped over a wooden grave marker etched with "R.I.P.," his pearl-handled revolver holstered beneath a blood-red desert sunset. Walter Simonson's cover art is quietly devastating in its simplicity, letting that lone headstone do the heavy lifting as circling birds drift across a bruised, colorful sky. With Sergio Aragonés and Peter Brandvold bringing this six-issue western saga to a close, issue #6 promises a fitting — and perhaps final — reckoning for DC's most charming frontier rogue.
